I did a quick Google search for "java c# benchmark" (try it yourself)
and it seems that it's only that offshored code that is slow and crappy
and not Java itself, because all benchmarks I could find concludes that
Java is way faster than C#.

Well, this one:

http://www.manageability.org/blog/archive/20030520%23p_the_problem_with_cameron

is the first one that comes up, but obviously something has gone wrong. A
factor of 7700 speed difference? They're just not measuring the same
thing. If C# were 7700 times slower than Java, it would be unusable.

I'm going to explore this and see what I can find out. A quick test shows
that his C# program is indeed woefully slow.

Quick preliminary answer: Both of the programs measure the time taken to
*compile* a regex, not the time taken to run it. The two compilers are
probably doing very different things.


It's like dude went very far out of the way to find some bizarre
benchmark to suit his goal. Who uses compiled regexs in c#
applications?
